Javier Vazquez has a bad start:
"You would have liked to see the 33-year-old Vazquez accomplish more in his first start."
Well, yeah.
"But you know Girardi is going to stick with him for as long as he can. How long did he stick with Chien-Ming Wang before pulling the plug last year? Wang had more of a body of work with the Yankees than Vazquez, so Girardi's Job-like patience was warranted in that case."
I think you meant to say Girardi's patience was not warranted. Since Wang's ERA was 199.00 and he was eventually cut from the team.
"How long do you stick with Vazquez? And do you start looking at Joba Chamberlain as a starter again? I know it's too early to start asking these questions, but Vazquez didn't inspire a lot of confidence Friday night."
How long will the Yankees stick with Vazquez as a starter and keep Joba in the bullpen?
The entire season, guaranteed.
Worst case scenario, let's say Vazquez gets hurt. The next starter would be Aceves, then Mitre, then a free agent, then somebody from the minors.
Joba will remain in the bullpen.

If you know it's too early, then DON'T ASK the question. It's pointless and ridiculous. Based on his logic, the Yankees should bench Texiera now, since he's only hitting .125. Unbelievable!
